How do I apply Menopause cream to my inner arm?
Short answer
Apply Menopause cream exactly as your prescribing physician and label direct. The page’s typical instructions are one click to the inner arm daily. Use clean, dry, unbroken skin, wash your hands afterward, and prevent others from touching the treated area. Ask the pharmacist about drying and washing times.
Follow your prescription label for the number of clicks, application site, and timing. The typical directions on this page are one click to the inner arm daily, but your physician’s instructions take priority. Ask your pharmacist whether the dispenser needs preparation before its first use. Do not guess how much cream a click contains.
Apply to clean, dry, unbroken skin at the directed site. Do not apply to the breasts, face, or genitals unless your prescriber specifically instructs you to do so. Wash your hands with soap and water afterward. Allow the area to dry before covering it with clothing.
Keep children, pets, and other people from touching the cream or treated skin. Skin contact can transfer hormones. If someone touches the treated area, wash their exposed skin with soap and water and ask a clinician for advice.
Ask the pharmacist how long to wait before bathing, swimming, or applying other skin products. These directions can depend on the cream’s base. Do not apply an extra dose if you wash the area early without first getting advice.
